Follow-Up Study of Former Transfer and Career Management Students. Volume XXIV, Number 4.
Lucas, John A.; Setlik, Patricia
As part of a review of management curricula, William Rainey Harper College in Illinois conducted a study of both former transfer and former career students in the management program. In spring 1995, surveys were sent to 248 former business transfer students and to 123 former career management students enrolled in the past 5 years, requesting information on students' current status and any benefits received from their program. Study findings, based on responses from 58 transfer and 53 career students, included the following: (1) 89% of the career students were employed full-time, compared to only 49% of the transfer students; (2) most career students were employed at the beginning professional level and 94% were employed in a job at least somewhat related to the management field; (3) the average salary of career students employed full-time was $32,000 per year; (4) transfer students were employed between the technician and beginning professional level, 80% were employed in a related field, and the average salary for those employed full-time was $26,000 per year; (5) 86% of the transfer students were continuing their education at another college, compared to 26% of the career students; and (6) the highest rated courses by both career and transfer students were Problems in Management and Supervision, Principles in Supervision, and Human Resources. The survey instrument is appended. (BCY)
